Below the song are the lyrics translated in English [thanks to a user who posted it on youtube].

Lyrics translated in English:

Oh Lord, daughters are being killed before they are even born! I am leaving, Oh Lord, what kind of life is this, I’m returning to you before seeing the world.. Father, what kind of a heart do you have? We died and you didn’t shed a tear! Father turned a blind eye but, mother, even you didn’t show any mercy. Sons will divide your home, but daughters will share your grief. Mother, don’t kill your﻿ baby; [for if you do, then] who will sing on her brother’s wedding day?

Kudimaari, in Punjabi, means the act of killing a girl-child: female infanticide or feticide. This blog is an attempt to understand and contribute to rooting out female feticide in the Punjabi community. News articles, poems, opinion pieces, videos, debates, book reviews, links to other resources constitute the milieu of this blog. The aim is twofold: to inform and to persuade.
